android-support-v13.jarの中身を見てたらそういうのがあるっていうのを発見。で色々調べてみたら、なにやらスクリーンセーバーのような物を作れるAPIな模様。という事でやってみた

AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest

MainActivity.java

package sample.test;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setComponent(
            new ComponentName("sample.test", "sample.test.SampleDream")
        );

        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }
}

SampleDream.java

package sample.test;

import android.support.v13.dreams.BasicDream;

public class SampleDream extends BasicDream {
    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();

        setContentView(new SampleView(this));
    }
}

SampleView.java

package sample.test;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;

public class SampleView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {

    private static final String TAG = "SampleView";

    private static final int[] colors = new int[]{
        Color.RED,
        Color.WHITE,
        Color.BLUE,
        Color.GREEN,
        Color.YELLOW
    };

    private int width;
    private int height;
    private SurfaceHolder holder;

    public SampleView(Context ctx) {
        super(ctx);

        holder = getHolder();
        holder.addCallback(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder2) {
        Log.v(TAG, "surfaceCreated");

        new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Paint paint = new Paint();
                paint.setAntiAlias(true);

                Canvas c = null;

                while (true) {
                    c = holder.lockCanvas();

                    if (c == null) {
                        break;
                    }

                    float x = (float)(Math.random() * width);
                    float y = (float)(Math.random() * height);

                    paint.setColor(getColor());

                    c.drawCircle(x, y, 5f, paint);

                    holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);

                }
            }
        }.start();
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
        Log.v(TAG, "surfaceChanged");

        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
        Log.v(TAG, "surfaceDestroyed");
    }

    private int getColor() {
        int color = (int)(Math.random() * colors.length);

        return colors[color];
    }
}

ランダムな位置に円を描くだけのSurfaceView

でコンパイルして起動してみると、アプリ起動後SurfaceViewが表示されて円がレンダリングされていく。で画面タッチ(もしくはクリック)すると画面が消える

まぁそういう事が出来る模様

追記

Androidのソースのpackages/app/Launcher2の中にRocketLauncherっていうBasicDreamがあるのでそれを参考にするのが良いかと思われる
